Make a donation
You can help grow the North East Community Forest.
For every £5 you donate we will plant either:
- a new sapling or whip size tree (30cm to 80cm tall)
- hedgerow with in-hedge tree planting
A £100 donation would allow us to plant, in a street or green space:
- a “standard” size (three to four metre tall) tree
Every donation also lets us access matched government funding, through the Trees for Climate programme. That then helps us to establish and maintain the trees.

If you are donating as a business we recommend you donate at least £250.
In return we will:
- send you a North East Community Forest supporter badge for your digital channels
- share a note of thanks from us on our social channels
- add your logo to Our Supporters page
If you would like to talk to us about how we can help your business with their environmental goals, please get in touch.
Get in touchCan I choose where you plant my trees?
You can choose to support tree planting across the North East Community Forest, or direct your donation to one of our six local authority areas.
However, we’re not able to match donations to specific trees or exact planting sites. This is because:
- we prioritise locations with the greatest need
- tree planting takes place at scale
- some planting sites are confirmed close to the start of the season
